Stan Greenspon Center for Peace and Social Justice

Finding Common Ground for Moving Forward

In 2013, an initiative began to explore the possibility of a Holocaust and multicultural
teacher education center in Charlotte. That led to the establishment of the Stan Greenspon
Center at Queens University of Charlotte in 2015, funded by Stan Greenspon and led
by Rabbi Judy Schindler.

The center's mission is to create bridges of multicultural understanding and collaboration that support human rights through
education, advocacy and action at Queens University and beyond.

Social Justice and Advocacy

The Stan Greenspon Center works with the Charlotte and Queens communities to support
individuals as they move from volunteerism to advocacy to creating change. For example, the
center's Refugee Advocacy Network is committed to working at the local, state, and national
levels to create meaningful change in order to "welcome the stranger" as directed
in all faith traditions.

Holocaust and Human Rights Education

The Stan Greenspon Center for Peace and Social Justice serves as an educational resource
to regional students, teachers, professors and community members, providing physical
and online resources with the most up-to-date curricular and research materials.
